Reviews

“This is a … comprehensive review of Iran's policy history of creating a nuclear energy capability. … The author includes a great deal of insight about the inner workings of the Iranian government system, adding to the book’s value. … Anyone interested in the question of nuclear energy in Iran and the Middle East must be aware of this book. It is indispensable. Summing Up: Essential. Lower-division undergraduates and above.” (S. R. Silverburg, Choice, Vol. 53 (10), June, 2016)

“This book develops Iran’s path in the nuclear energy field from the first steps under Shah Reza Pahlavi in the 70s to the definition of the Joint Plan of Action (JPA) in April 2015 … . It is clear that the book is the result of an accurate and pains-taking research path, undoubtedly making it a great tool for those who want to go into the deepest details of the story.” (Greta Zunino, The International Spectator, Vol. 51 (4), 2016)
